The atmosphere at the mahjong table quickly became lively. Fang Mengru, with a familiar smile, teased Qin Xiao from time to time; Zhao Yalan was gentle and reserved, but would occasionally say a word or two with a smile; while Lin Yufang seemed a little reserved, her movements of drawing and playing tiles were not very smooth, but her pair of clear, bright eyes could not help but glance at Qin Xiao, the shyness and curiosity in her eyes adding to her innocence.
Qin Xiao's performance was just right, displaying youthful energy and humor while maintaining a proper sense of propriety, winning the favor of the three beautiful women. He didn't intentionally try to lose, but rather relied on his keen observation and superb card skills to occasionally win a few small hands, which drew repeated complaints from Fang Mengru, while Lin Yufang smiled along with him.
"Little Qin, your card skills are getting better and better. I'm about to lose badly." Fang Mengru chuckled, her slender fingers lightly brushing against Qin Xiao's thigh under the table, the touch soft and alluring. Qin Xiao subtly tightened his legs, maintaining his gentle smile: "Sister Fang is too kind. It's my honor to play cards with the three of you."
Although Lin Yufang remained silent, her gaze towards Qin Xiao grew increasingly bright, and the blush on her face became more pronounced. She frequently touched her fingertips to her lips, as if contemplating the game, or perhaps concealing the turmoil within her heart.
Time flew by unnoticed, and the night deepened outside the window. After several hours, the mahjong game was drawing to a close. Fang Mengru stretched and yawned, "Wow, it's so late already, time really flies."
Zhao Yalan also got up and straightened her clothes: "Yes, today's card game was really enjoyable."
Lin Yufang also stood up, but perhaps because she had been sitting for too long or her attention was too focused, she felt dizzy as soon as she stood up, and her body staggered, almost falling.
"Watch out!" Qin Xiao reacted quickly, almost instinctively reaching out to support Lin Yufang's slender waist. Her skin was soft and warm to the touch, and through the thin hem of her skirt, he could almost feel her body trembling.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Lin Yufang steadied herself, her cheeks flushed like the sunset. She lowered her head, not daring to look Qin Xiao in the eye.
Qin Xiao supported her and, feeling her stiffness, asked with concern, "Sister Lin, are you alright? Is your head hurting?"
Lin Yufang responded softly, her voice tinged with weariness: "It seems a little."
"I have a massage technique that's very effective at relieving headaches. Would you like to try it?" Qin Xiao's eyes were sincere, and his tone was full of concern.
Lin Yufang hesitated for a moment, but seeing Qin Xiao's handsome and concerned face, she finally nodded gently.
Seeing this, Fang Mengru smiled and said, "Yu Fang, why don't you rest here for a bit? Xiao Qin's massage skills are excellent; I had him massage me last time. We'll head back now, so as not to disturb you." She gave Qin Xiao a meaningful look, a hint of mischief in her eyes. Zhao Yalan also considerately took her leave.
Qin Xiao led Lin Yufang to an elegantly furnished guest room. Once the door was closed, only the two of them remained in the room, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.
Qin Xiao walked behind Lin Yufang and said gently, "Sister Lin, please sit down and relax." He reached out and gently touched Lin Yufang's forehead with his fingertips, preparing to begin a massage.
"Sister Lin, actually, there's something I wanted to talk to you about today," Qin Xiao said softly while giving you a massage. "Your son, Ye Chen, has gotten into some trouble recently. He... went to the police station."
Lin Yufang's body stiffened abruptly, and she turned around to look at Qin Xiao, her face filled with shock and worry: "What? How could Chen'er..." Although she hadn't seen Ye Chen for many years, blood is thicker than water after all, and hearing that her son was in trouble, she was immediately thrown into disarray.
"He's caused a huge disaster, offended someone he shouldn't have." Qin Xiao's voice deepened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Madam Lin, you don't want to see your son..."
"I know!" Lin Yufang's voice trembled slightly, suddenly interrupting Qin Xiao. She abruptly raised her head, the blush spreading rapidly across her cheeks, almost as if it were about to bleed. Her clear eyes were fixed on Qin Xiao, flashing with a resolute determination, along with a strange shyness and anticipation.
Qin Xiao was preparing his next words, intending to gently persuade her to understand Ye Chen's situation and the "help" he could provide, but he did not expect her reaction to be so intense.
Before Qin Xiao could speak, Lin Yufang's hand trembled slightly as she reached for the neckline of her moon-white dress. With each movement of her fingertips, the delicate buttons were undone, revealing glimpses of her smooth, snow-white skin under the dim light, exuding a deadly allure.
"...Sister Lin, what are you doing?" Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly surprised. This development seemed to be quite different from the script he had envisioned.
Lin Yufang's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, her eyes were slightly moist, and her voice was soft but unusually firm: "I know what you mean... As long as you... are willing to let Chen'er go, I'm willing to give you anything... anything."
Qin Xiao was filled with mixed feelings, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't even had a chance to utter a single word of the series of threats and inducements he had carefully prepared, such as "Your son is in a critical situation right now. If no one intervenes, I'm afraid..." and "Sister Lin wouldn't want to see her son imprisoned, would she?" before this beautiful woman had already imagined things to that extent?
At this moment, Lin Yufang's dress had slipped down to her waist, revealing her smooth, rounded shoulders and the breathtaking rise and fall of her chest. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath as if using all her strength, and when she opened them again, her eyes held a hint of dazedness. She slowly raised her hand, gathering her cascading black hair behind her head, revealing her smooth, beautiful neck and delicately shaped collarbones. Her skin, as white as mutton-fat jade, radiated a lustrous glow under the lamplight, every inch exuding the unique charm of a mature woman.
